1Trapped Under Ice interview
Trapped Under Ice
Barely a month after their latest album, Big Kiss Goodnight, hit stores, Trapped Under Ice is making their rounds on their first full US headlining tour. I first heard TUI when they toured with hardcore dominators, Terror and Stick to Your Guns, but I never really listened in-depth until this latest release.
In my opinion, hardcore can pretty much be divided into two categories: PMA vs ANGRY. You’ve got bands like H20 that rant and rave about PMA this and PMA that (PMA = positive mental attitude), and then bands like Terror that often write lyrics about how they’ve stayed on top despite what a shitty world we live in… and so on. Trapped Under Ice isn’t necessarily one or the other, and I don’t want anyone to try to relate being angry with being negative. The hardcore scene isn’t negative at all, in fact it strives to be the opposite in most cases. I like to say…. realists. Society is pretty shitty as a whole, but you stick by the people that rule and hope they do the same for you. Either way, when I talked with TUI, we dove into such topics among other things… like butt tattoos.
Justice (vocals), Brendan (drums) and Sam (guitar) and I at their 11/11 stop at Rock City Studios on Camarillo, CA. The interview also includes live footage and even a private jam session. BITCH.
